I had my Breast im plants dont 6 months ago to get a fuller look and now I reagret it so much to where it is affecting my health because I am so upset about them. I went from a small A to a C and am ready to get them removed. My nipples are in good in place and my boobs are still very high(no sagging at all) They were placed under the muscle and I wanted to know if I'd need a lift once removed??! Will they look pretty much like the did before the surgery?? and how will it effect my muscle in the future?l

hey you're not alone. I went from 34A to 32D about 5 weeks ago. I should be over the moon but it's affected my psychologically. I am now depressed, seeing a counseller and am off work. It's taken over my life. I wish so much i could turn the clock back and get my old shape back. I'm worried not that if i get them out they'll look like wee empty bags. i'm devastated.

I too had a similiar situation and am now extremely happy after explant removal. I had my surgery to increase from 34 c to 36c...absolutely hated everything about them! Painful too big for my frame and felt psychologically damaged. It was the worst move I ever made! Not to mention out 10K!!! I was also having memory loss issues and could not sleep at night due to profuse sweating. I am thankful to GOD that I have my original and beautiful figure back...no damage done since I had the explant surgery within 3 wks from the first surgery. I highly recommend it, the sooner the better. Implants had taken over my entire life too. Also LOOK but don't TOUCH. I am back to normal and now on a homeopathis pill called "breast actives" and my breasts are growing larger with each passing week, without harm to the body. My boyfriend can't keep his hands off me. Good Luck to you. Pls. let me know your outcome!

I am pretty sure that if you work out- swim or lift weights. They will tighten up. I am planning on taking mine off.

I had breast implants 9 years ago at age 27. I regretted them at first too. I think you need to give it some time before removing them. Just my honest opinion. My implants went from freaky looking to awesome, but it took a good year. They look SO much better once they drop.

Hey, sorry but i've just seen now that you have replied to me! thank you very much for your response!! YOur story is v encouraging! I am holding onto the hope of still getting them out. Did people not think you were mad for getting them out so soon? I feel like i have no support for getting them out and everyone will think i'm crazy but it's my life. It's in my head every second of the day. I might as well be in prison.... So glad your body isn't damaged :) Please keep in touch!

me too. same boat. I went from not even an a to a c- so i did get surgery again after only three months and got them much smaller, like a b and i still don't like them. they are weird- so i think the next step is to get them out, but am a little scared- but i think the sooner the better. I too had friends that had them done and loved them and sung the praises of how wonderful they were and then after i got them done and complained, one got real bitchy with me and one confessed that she had to go on medication after getting them done.

Did you end up having yours removed? :( I want to remove mine and it's only been a week...such an expensive mistake. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I just have the boobie blues...

Hi there - no, I haven't been back to my doctor yet. I go in February. I'm getting nervous because it's been almost 4 years but I've hated them the entire time. I've tried to convince myself otherwise, but deep down I know I don't like them being this large. I hope you are feeling better about yours since it has only been a few weeks. Keep in touch! Debbie

I just had my implant about 2 months and a lot of discomfort. Was an "A" to a full "B". Love it for a couple of weeks. But the pain of tightness is ruining my daily life. And not to mention psychologically. Thought about removing it so I don't have to deal with it in the next 10 years. It will heal faster since it is new, don't have to deal with the sagging part. I am thinking very hard but at the same time very confusing. After having the implant, I started to worry about my health. And to top it off, friends and family gossiping about me having it done. I need your inputs.

I had my implants taken out today and i can't explain how happy and free i feel!!! And the results are amazing!!! I expected to be left with 2 empty bags (although the surgeon tried to reassure me that i would be pleasantly surprised with the outcome) i was still skeptical, but am amazed at how well my skin has gone back! I had 280/295cc implants in for exactly 5 months and am 31 years old.

I have had 3 breast augmentations (to change cup sizes and later to replace the old saline implant with silicone which lasts longer), and none of them involved any pain. The worst part for me was the anxiety of going in for the surgery, and the pain from the IV needle going in. After the surgery I did feel a slight "tightness" for the first week only, but never any pain. I also took my pain pills every few hours as directed. If you are having a lot of discomfort maybe you are having a capsullar contracture, or minor infection or some other complication. I am not advocating implants, just saying that I don't think that they are inherently bad, but that from time to time, complications, allergies and reactions can occur in some people. (I happen to be mildly allergic to my silicone implants, but this is irrelevant to your question). Hope this helps.

I've had my implants for 3 1/2 years. I went conservative and it's not noticable, unless you really know me. I'm in pain most of the time. My shoulder blades ache almost constantly, I have slight capsullar contraction in the left breast with a burning sensation. A pulling sensation. I have been thinking about explantation but am so afraid of the outcome. I'm afraid of looking like deflated socks! LOL I am just tired of being in pain and my eyes and face reflecting the pain. My doctor is discouraging it. I'm getting to the point where I'd rather have "socks" than pain.
